Old model - newer, cheaper at OWC

This case is last year's model. Don't waste the extra $100 when you can get a newer (virtually identical) version from OWC for $279. P/N OWC OWCTB3QMJB000. OWC has always offered the best prices and the best quality for Mac compatible products. They have excellent tech support and lots of useful information on their website.

Pros
  • Supports four 2.5" SSD/HDD bays and a durable, heat-dissipating aluminum chassis with two Thunderbolt 3 ports for speeds up to 40Gbps
Cons
  • Anything I can add
